We're Here!
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
After we finished breakfast, Kathy wanted a break from driving so I agreed to spend some time behind the wheel. Unfortunately, while I'm driving I'm not able to document our trip. It was uneventful though and there wasn't much to say or show. I was happy when we finally arrived in Syracuse.
Once we got to Syracuse, the first thing we did was go to our hotel to check in and drop off the bags. Unfortunately, we couldn't check in because the Marriott Courtyard didn't have any rooms available for early check-in. It wasn't really a problem for us to check in that night but we felt bad that we wasted our time driving to the hotel when we could have gone straight to the fair.
The drive from the hotel to the fair grounds was horrific. It was only a few miles yet it took us more than 40 minutes to get there. Once we finally got there, it took another 40 minutes just to park the car. I'm really surprised that the New York State Fair is such a popular attraction. I hope that the fair is going to be worth all of this traffic!
Looking at the map, this fair is much bigger than I had expected it to be. I hope that we have enough time to see everything!Leggi altro

Brand New Cows
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
One of the first things that we saw as we entered the fairgrounds was the cow birthing area. We didn't see any cows being born, but all of these calves were born in the last day or so. Being newborns, I'm surprised by how big they are already and that they are able to walk around so well.Leggi altro

Baby Calf
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
Among those 350 dairy industry volunteer attendees at the fair are local dairy farmers who deliver cows from their herds to this birthing exhibit. The cows are carefully selected for health, temperament and when they will give birth at the exhibit under the watchful eye of a veterinarian and herdsman present around the clock. The cows are kept comfortable in one of two large pens at the exhibit, an effort that includes managing traffic flow of fairgoers, who are asked to be quiet and respectful to the birthing cows.Leggi altro

Brandon the Calf
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
This baby cow was really having a good time. He was running all around the pen and looking around at everything. I really liked his playful spirit. I wish he would have close enough for me to pet him but he was too busy exploring everything around him. The blue collar around his neck said his name was Brandon. I hope he's always as happy and spirited as he is now.Leggi altro

New Cows
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
Some of these cows were so new that they still had traces of what looked like umbilical cords or placentas hanging off of their lower bodies. It didn't look very nice but it's a natural part of life, I suppose. I'm just surprised that the handlers or vets that were taking care of the cows didn't clean that up a bit more. Maybe it's like the belly button of a new born baby? That just gets clipped and, a couple of days later, just falls off. Maybe it's the same with cows?Leggi altro

A Cow of a Different Color
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
All of the baby cows we saw walking around in the pen were variations of black and white patterns but this one was different from the rest. Not only was the color so different but this baby cow was content to just sit and relax, unlike the other calves who were wandering all over. I don't know why, but this looks like a female cow to me.Leggi altro

Lemonade Stand
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
This lemonade stand looks just like the ones in the game Rollercoaster Tycoon. I haven't played that game in such a long time but, after seeing this lemonade stand, I'm thinking of starting again. These big lemons were all over the fair and all of them seemed to be doing great business. I never realized that lemonade was such a popular drink.Leggi altro

Big Cone
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
This big ice cream cone is another food stand that seemed to be all over the fair. I really like soft ice cream, and would have enjoyed a chocolate cone, but the lines at all these big cones were so long. Eating snacks at the fair is such a popular pastime! I was expecting all the foods here to be so expensive but $1 is a great price for ice cream. I wonder just how "mini" the mini cone actually is?Leggi altro

Poutine!
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
I haven't had any poutine since we've been to Montreal. I was really tempted to get some from this food stand, especially since there was no line, but I decided to wait a bit and see what other food choices I had available to me. I'll probably be coming back here later, unless I find something even better. To beat poutine, it would have to be something really good!Leggi altro

Alligator or Shark?
2 settembre 2017, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
Finally, a food stand that's selling something different and original! At Chester's, you can have your choice of alligator or shark kabobs. They have more common choices like corn dogs and home-made potato chips too. I remember having alligator meat when we went to New Orleans and loving it. I'm not ready to buy food yet because I want to see everything that's available before I decide but I'm definitely going to remember this place.Leggi altro
